10 Weeks left in the year. You don't seriously expect the Wii U to sell on average 500,000 a week for the rest of the year do you?
Lol you just contradicted yourself, how can you say he was going off faith. And then you made this crazy ass prediction with no backing at all the Wii U doesn't have the same bed as the weed so why the hell would it do Wii numbers especially now that it has competition. |
lol@ your lol. I didn't contradict myself at all. MBP made a prediction on on January 3rd of this year saying that Wii U would sell less than 7 million. He wasn't really basing it on anything, as all we had was Wii U launch numbers which were about 88% of Wii. He just threw something random out there for fun to stir the pot, and because he's not a fan of Nintendo.
My comment, however, was not a prediction. I just said it's actually possible, and I did give a reason. If you look at almost every system in recent history its secont Christmas season it sold double what it did at launch. I wasn't referencing Wii (though Wii does fit as well) but moreso PS3, XB360 and others. In its second season a system has better availability, better brand awareness, more/better games and sometimes better pricing.
If we take XB360 as a specific example, in its second Christmas is sold about 2.5X what it did in its first. This happened despite a troubled first year. If Wii U also sold 2.5X through November and December, it would sell 5,617,000 units, or enough to eclipse 7 million for 2013. I never said it had to sell Wii numbers, it only needs to do post-price drop PS360 numbers. Since Wii U is already at that magic mass-market price of $299, and Nintendo is espcially big at Christmas, it's not totally ridiculous to say it couldn't make it. Likely? Probably not, but it is certainly possible.
You should be careful throwing around those lol's. You can sometimes make yourself look either foolish, or like you don't comprehend english, because I never made a prediction in the first place, and my comment is supported by data.
